Symposium Women, Families and Religiosity
We propose to organize a symposium about Women, Families and
Religiosity: Past and Present. For it we have the generous support of
New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study in Bucharest
(www.nec.ro), which will also be the host of the symposium. In
agreement with New Europe College we have scheduled this symposium on
1-2 April 2011.
We would like to bring together a number of scholars (historians,
sociologists, anthropologists etc.) who work on such questions, and
who would also make possible a comparative view, by addressing
different Balkan ‘confessional’ families.
Here are some themes for reflection:
– Families and Churches
– Domestic violence: rules and practices
– Women in the Families: daughters, wives and widows
– From God to Godparents: spiritual kinship and solidarities
It is a great honor for us to invite you to take part in this event.
Please let us to know if you are interested to be among the
participants. Those who would like to present a paper are invited to
submit a title and a short abstract, accompanied by a CV & publication
list by 30 November 2010. Please email this information to the
organisers:
